A NOTE ON THE SUMS OF POWERS OF CONSECUTIVE q-INTEGERS
In this paper we construct the q-analogue of Barnes's Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of degree 2, for positive even integers, which is an answer to a part of Schlosser's question. For positive odd integers, Schlosser's question is still open. Finally, we will treat the q-analogue of the sums of powers of consecutive integers.
متن کاملA Note on the Alternating Sums of Powers of Consecutive Integers
For n, k ∈ Z≥0, let Tn(k) be the alternating sums of the n-th powers of positive integers up to k − 1: Tn(k) = ∑ k−1 l=0 (−1)l. Following an idea due to Euler, we give the below formula for Tn(k): Tn(k) = (−1) 2 n−1 ∑ l=0 (n l ) Elk n−l + En 2 (
متن کاملOn a Congruence Modulo n Involving Two Consecutive Sums of Powers
For various positive integers k, the sums of kth powers of the first n positive integers, Sk(n) := 1 k+2k+ · · ·+nk, are some of the most popular sums in all of mathematics. In this note we prove a congruence modulo n3 involving two consecutive sums S2k(n) and S2k+1(n). This congruence allows us to establish an equivalent formulation of Giuga’s conjecture. Moreover, if k is even and n ≥ 5 is a ...
متن کاملExplicit Polynomial for Sums of Powers of Odd Integers
In this note we derive the explicit, non-recursive form of the coefficients of the polynomial associated with the sums of powers of the first n odd integers. As a by-product, we deduce a couple of new identities involving the Bernoulli numbers. Mathematics Subject Classification: 11B57, 11C08, 11B68
متن کاملSums of Even Powers in Archimedean Rings
This note is devoted to the study of totally archimedean rings of regular functions. We easily extend Schm udgen theorem to this class of rings. Moreover, we show that, in such rings, every totally positive element is a sum of even powers of totally positive elements, and hence is a sum of even powers of units.
